Never Finished Learning

NEVER FINISHED LEARNING (N.F.L.)
CHALLENGE CLUB

Do you want to be part of the fun?  Mrs. Donze's NFL Club is looking for new recruits!  The NFL is a club for students who are Never Finished Learning (NFL). NFL members go above and beyond the normal classroom expectations and challenge themselves to do more than what they "have" to do.

Here's how to get started:
1. Choose any question from the five categories on the challenge list below.  The categories are ELA, Math, Social Studies, Science, and Miscellaneous.
2. Research your topic using reference books or the Internet.
3. STUDY, STUDY, STUDY so you become an expert on your subject.
4. When you are ready, submit your answers to the special box in our classroom.  Please include the question number with your answers.  You will earn one NFL point for each question. These are the different NFL rankings you can earn as you learn:
  • 1-5 points: Rookie
  • 6-10 points: Starting Line-up
  • 11-15 points: Pro
  • 16- 25 points: All Star
  • More than 25 points: NFL Hall of Fame
The "Hall of Fame" will be posted in our classroom and on our class Blog.  Once you're in the Hall of Fame, you're in for life since you are a lifetime learner!
It's your decision if you would like to be part of the NFL Club. You can be a player and earn points as we all cheer and support each other. The NFL is a club for students who are never finished learning. It's your call... are you up for the challenge?
